Activate form from button options

Is it possible to activate a form from a button click, if yes, how can I go about it?

hi! yes, you can do this. For example you can set the button payload to "/start_form" , where start_form is the name of the intent that triggers your form to start. Messages that start with a slash are skipped by NLU so you can pass the intent and entities there directly.

Extending this, Is it possible to set slot by activating form using ā€œ/start_form{user:ā€˜x’}ā€ . Unable to understand if this is possible, or if I’m doing it right.

yes, that does work, but the syntax is a little different.

'/start_form{{"user":"x"}}'

btw if you are still using Forms I might recommend trying out flows instead.
